The distribution of days looks good to me. However, I don't have any knowledge of how holidays would affect your plans. It could be fabulous!

If you cut the # of days in venice, you might be able to drive to Sorrento from Rome - make Sorrento your base and then take the ferry to Positano. Its totally worth it. Did that 2 years ago and wished we could have spent more time on the Amalfi coast.

I think for a December visit, the risk of storms in the Amalfi make it a poor choice. Don't change your itinerary. It looks great. Over the holidays, you will have the treat of beautifully decorated churches open on Christmas day, plus lots of music concerts, brilliant window displays and yet at the same time, everything will be a bit more peaceful and cheery than in the worst of the summer tourist months.

have a great time.

I agree that the Amalfi Coast in late December is a risk. Stick with your itinerary and see the 3 cities all dressed up for the holidays. Your distribution of days looks just about right.
